Some children are innately wired for organization while others are not. Long ago, the qualities that we view today as "scattered" were actually a good thing. Ancient hunters needed to be able to scan the environment and be alert to their surroundings.  In order to survive, they needed be be able to respond immediately to a threat or opportunity. Now we are living in a different world and the "scattered" child has to be taught the skills they need to survive and thrive in today's culture. In this week's short vlog post, we will explore a core concept that the scattered child needs to learn.
